Today, we recognize International Human Solidarity Day. December 20 was designated as the International Human Solidarity Day by the UN. The day is meant to remind the member states to raise public awareness of the importance of solidarity and to encourage new initiatives for poverty eradication.
"Based on equality, inclusion and social justice, solidarity implies a mutual obligation among all members of society and across the global community. And that, in turn, should point the way towards partnerships and cooperation among all development actors - governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations, civil society and the private sector...On this International Day, let us renew our commitment to human solidarity and collective action in building a better, safer world for all."(UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon)
The theme for the 2010 International Human Solidarity Day is: "Reach out to our neighbors." To live in solidarity with all those around us- to include the poor, the sick and elderly, those enduring abuse, discrimination or violations of their rights- and through which create a safe world based on unity and harmony.
